so, whilst the other comments want through the risks of using cloudflare, i’d like to point out that hetzner DNS is free, easy to use, and a european solution. so, if you’re really not using any of the cloudflare features, its just as simple if not simpler to avoid that internet monopoly and use hetzner.

please do not use cloudflare. it’s risking everyone’s privacy and security. they may seem like the most inconspicuous part of your dependencies, but actually are the weakest/ most dangerous part. i think codeberg tends to be supportive and the right place, but cloudflare is 99.9% gonna snitch on all of your readers.

btw, i tried to add two HDDs today and sata passthrough didn’t allow me to create a new pool despite them showing up in truenas. something about duplicate serial numbers and such. i then decided to pass through my cpus sata controller (proxmox and the truenas virtual boot drive run off nvme). rebooted proxmox and it worked. all drives detected and functional (after removing their individual passthrough because proxmox couldn’t find them as it didn’t have access to the sata controller anymore)

I’ve used truenas scale on an old xeon with 32gb ram and then moved it over to proxmox on an i5-12600 with 64gb ddr5. truenas is installed to a virtual drive provided by proxmox, but all the other drives are sata passthrough and truenas handles the bare metal. the truenas vm has eight cores, 32gb ram and is running scale 25.10.0.1. so far i’ve got four sata ssds attached to it and am running 20+ apps without issues.

i know this doesn’t help you much besides ensuring that it does actually work within proxmox 9.0.11

good luck!

i actually ran into the dude who made this design and he gave me a lot of these stickers. so, while it could’ve been made with AI, i can tell you that it was done in 2024 and i met him in an AI critical setting and he was very proud of having made this. since i don’t remember him having mentioned AI at all, i find it likely for this to be done without AI

interesting, i knew it in a longer form: If you meet one asshole in a day, then you met an asshole. If all day all you meet is assholes, you’re the asshole.

this, and i’m playing both brand new titles as well as windows games and sims from about 20+ years ago like settlers II and EasyFly3

yes, please be mindful when using cloudflare. with them you’re possibly inviting in a much much bigger problem

my motherboards drivers don’t come with windows, and so when i tried to install it and it forced me to connect to the internet, i just couldn’t. luckily i found a usb dongle to ethernet which worked ootb.

never had a weird mono driver issue like that on any linux distro i tried.

i think i absolutely loved manjaro for the first week. then it just went downhill. i still think that manjaro had cool things. it’s been my favourite grub because of it being somewhat riced and always picking up whatever dual boot i had on different drives. still i would recommend manjaro only to those people who need to practice fixing broken distros. its really good at that.

in case you need more reasons agains cloudflare https://www.devever.net/~hl/cloudflare they are really very harmful to both privacy and security of everyone on the internet i think.

I used Manjaro for a while, recommended it a bunch of people because it was all so very pretty. even the grub screen looked nice. for me it did however break on three separate updates, each requiring a lot of fiddling and manual intervention, despite my system being rather vanilla at the time. the last time it broke i just installed fedora instead and never looked back. all the friends i’ve recommended it to also switched at some point, because of it either being unstable/ dying or not having the features one wants. i generally recommend against manjaro, not just because of my bad experiences, but also because better distros exist.

This is the best technical review of omarch in my opinion. For info on the developer and his ideology you gotta go elsewhere tho.

i think i’ve managed to get to this state exactly once, but i don’t remember how i got there and what machine it was. i just know that it was a machine i tried multiple distros on and so i can confidently say that, in my case, it was not a hardware, but a software issue. i hope that nothing of value is broken for you either. good luck!

one where i mess up the breadboard and fry my cables/ microcontroller i guess

i absolutely love your proposal. petition to make this happen

afaik that depends on the type of medium, where ssd are more susceptible to rot than hdd (and never use usb sticks). now this is just my guess, but i’d think that zfs with frequent automatic checks and and such will keep your data safer than an unplugged hdd

it’s my favourite site for that really forbidden shit!!1!!!11!

i thought i had read that, but i may well be wrong. might look it up later, but either way thanks a lot for the additional context. you’re very right

i got my fingers crossed you’re right! thank you for your kind responses :D
